Mission Statement

The Program began in 1979 and became the first official Program within the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) at UT-Houston in 1982. GSBS has granted the Program special autonomy allowing Program students to satisfy GSBS area requirements by taking core Program courses. The BMB-Program offers courses in fundamental and current topics in biochemistry and molecular biology, research workshops, invited seminars, and opportunities for interactions at conferences as well as with scientists at nearby institutions.

The strength of any academic program is rooted in the quality of its faculty. The faculty in the Program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are drawn from the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Pathology, Microbiology, Medicine, the Institute of Molecular Medicine, the Center for Membrane Biology and the Structural Biology Research Center.
